Processing & Transfer
There are literally thousands, perhaps millions of individuals who have been to good school, both secular and religious and for some unfortunate reason did not graduate.  These school credits should not be dead, but could be "resurrected" for their economic and degree completion value in religious or theological studies.

At Virginia Triumphant College and Seminary, we recognize that certain persons in religious and theological pursuits have hidden educational assets which would bring them to non-secular degree completion at no additional cost per credit hour.

We have had person who had completed undergraduate, graduate and doctoral level work and for years their "credits" just laid "dormant" until they discovered Virginia Triumphant College & Seminary's "Resurrection in Theological and Religious Education" Methodology for realizing that "hole in their sense of incompletion."

You may be able to realize and expand your potentialities in this New Reach in Theological and Religious Education.  You can attain the Associate in Religious Studies, the Bachelors in Religious Studies, Master's of Divinity or Doctorates, in some cases on sheer transfer.  Even if your school is no longer operable, we can evaluate the value of your credits and the school through our research validation techniques.

Call us or send a profile of your situation and let us show you how you can become "Triumphant" in your theological and religious education.

Aims and Ends
Assuring the Aims and Ends of theological and religious education is what the school is all about. The school is largely non-traditional with a combination of the classroom and non-classroom setting with  teaching and curricula performance models. There are essentially three teaching modalities and subjects are set in a module format. The teaching models are as follows:

A. Pedagogical-[ Where the learning is traditional and teacher-centered with students. It is instructor-directed].

B. Andragogical -[Where the learning is non-traditional for the mature, self-motivated and independent candidate under a learning contract, study-guide or free-style exploration in reaching defined research objectives].

C.  Categorical-[Where the learning process may be integrative, advisory, evaluative and consultative in arriving at assessment and a composite results. Praxis and performance or internships tend to be a part of assessments].

 

Export Seminary Programs
Virginia Triumphant College & Seminary operates under an Export Seminary or Portable Seminary concept. This concept of teaching and delivery is nomadic and non-traditional, bringing the seminary (the seed bed) to the student/candidate. The programs adjust to the missiological goals of the student/candidate, their academic and theological objectives in modern life styles. Moreover,  the programs bring to the mature, motivated and independent learner , consideration of family and employment circumstances, economic adjustments, and the conservation of time. 

The school is non-traditional and offers an alternative in cost and time consumption to traditional teacher-centered learning (pedagogy) , especially for those who may not otherwise become products of traditional schooling .The Export Seminary further allows “open book and self-testing through research and study guides”. 
         
It is our professional observation that most students learn and retain when they are matured motivated
learners. The quality of the learning process is in the hands of the student/candidate; and the programs allow completion in 1/3 of traditional time and around 1/8 traditional costs. Hence, we celebrate its essence:


“A University of the Highest Learning:
    
 
Keeping the Romance of God’s Word in;
                                                             
the Suspense and Expense Out”.
